Our love was like fire but now my tears extinguish the flame, watch our dreams go up in smoke and see the beauty come out of ashes

ashes in my mouth
drank wrong beer can oh shitsky
drink up brother drink

Circumstances crushed hopes and new hopes rose from the ashes of burnt desires.

Let me wrap you in my arms
With no harm,
An oak like kiss
A soft touch,
Closed eyes
Listening to sound of sticks sizzling
Til they turn to ashes!

Asphyxiated
In the ashes of what I
Once mistook you for

I sit through the tunes in my head
by the heat of the ablaze night.
Its grotesque fire bellows inside me,
rage envisaged breaking my soul.

Streams of dots,
haphazard connections,
reels of memories burst through the veins.
Reminiscence of perfidy sting in lapses,
hurt every rib,
every gap in the bones.

Ribbons of lies unravel my skin.
I start to burn.
A corner at first,
then all through the back.
Fumes rise in sync with the flames.
I lose a skin here, a patch there.
Smoke choked my barren eyes.

I believed.
I lost.
I am paying through the ashes of mine.
